[PATCH] scsi: fnic: Use kmalloc instead of vmalloc for a small memory allocation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



'struct fc_trace_flag_type' is just a few bytes long. There is no need
to allocate such a structure with vmalloc. Using kmalloc instead.

While at it, axe a useless test when freeing the memory.
